This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ath9k_hw: Fix signal strength / channel noise reporting to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 3f9493fc489c2c599edb2834157c51b36c7ba30f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:03:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_hw: Fix signal strength / channel noise reporting commit b7c0c238898d200e80487516e2b67aba2a522cc0 upstream. While AR_PHY_CCA_NOM_VAL_* does contain the expected internal noise floor for a chip measured in clean air, it refers to the lowest expected reading. Depending on the frequency, this measurement can vary by about 6db, thus causing a higher reported channel noise and signal strength. Factor in the 6db offset when converting internal noisefloor to channel noise. This patch makes the reported values more accurate for all chips without affecting NF calibration behavior.
